Perhaps it's the lateness of the hour, but I had this idea strike me after
I watched the pilot for the new Fantasy Island series.  I have my hands
full with my current series, so I wouldn't be able to write a pilot episode
for awhile.  Here's my idea...

On the TV series Fantasy Island, people show up to live out their fantasies
over a weekend of time.  Every show, there are new guests with new
fantasies.  I was thinking (and I blame the lateness of the hour again)
that it might make for a fun multi-author series, since the show is
episodic in nature.  There is also usually a trick to each fantasy, so the
guest seems to learn something about life or themselves.  No fantasy seems
to end perfectly.

I was thinking... would any other authors on this list be willing to write
self-contained episodes?  I would be willing to act as series editor, and I
have an idea or two for the pilot episode.  The FFML could give Nielsen
ratings for each episode that gets released. :)

So, tell me honest... does this idea sound stupid, or fun?
